Reach for the stars, but keep your feet on the ground

This is a display rack in a small newsstand near where I work:



Note that the sign on the rack says "Innovation Station." The picture, from my cell phone camera, is of course blurry. You're probably wondering "What kind of amazing items to they have at the 'Innovation Station?'"

Just gum and candy.

"Gum and candy with lasers? Or tiny electronics?"

Just regular gum and candy.

"Does it at least make your teeth turn blue?"

Just gum an candy. Same as they've been making in the Necco Wafer factory for a hundred years.

"I guess the 'Innovation Station' is poorly named."
